So, I've officially had more voters' votes for their favourite theme parks, rides, meets and members than last year! But there's still time to get your votes in, though not much! Voting closes at 20:00 (8pm) on December 18th, remember. Plenty of time for the rest of you to get your votes in and join the other 21 voters so far!

Quality Street every time!
Baubles or tinsel?
-
Mince pies. Mulled wine is rank!
Christmas cracker jokes or The Queen's Speech?
-
Can't stand Noddy Holder or that song, so it's easily The Coca-Cola ad for me!
Father Christmas or Santa Claus?
-
Artificial - much easier to make artificial trees look amazing. Natural trees aren't 'full' enough.
The Polar Express or The Nightmare Before Christmas?

I CAN'T DECIDE.
I'll go for sausage rolls because I can have them any time of the year. Mince pies in June is a bit weird.
Eggnog or mulled wine?

Mer, what have I told you about playing TPM match-maker?

Interesting to see the gap between Slammer and Rush, especially since they're both battling for first place in Best UK Flat Ride in the TPM Park Awards...

See, I don't get the "oh Saw was built by now, therefore it will be late" arguement at all...
Different rides, different construction styles, different locations, different weather... Just because one was built a certain way, doesn't mean that every other Gerstlauer will be, especially when different external construction companies are being used...
If we're gonna compare, why not compare to Takibashi? That's the closest example to a large scale multi-looping Gerstlauer we have, and that was built in two weeks or sommat daft...
I guess it's just a mixture of enthusiasts wanting Towers/Merlin to fail so they can complain, and a few who are just literally hitting the panic button because of how they think ride (or any form of) construction works, and as it's not working in that manner, it won't be built on time...
I'll still be preparing the humble pie for March though... Even if it's for me, because I feel optimistic that just cos it's not at a particular stage in comparison to another ride doesn't automatically mean it won't open on time as scheduled...
I here you, but Takabisha has no themeing at all. SW7 has enormous themeing pieces to build as well as the track, and to build either before the other will naturally restrict the ease of movement when building the second part (looking likely to be the themeing e.g. the spider thing). I don't worry that it won't be open for March - I worry it'll pull a Krake on us.

Interesting post Sarah, and I completely agree, but there is something of a distinction between what Mer might be going through and say, a more personal issue. Mer's rant was at 'the establishment' and I've always found it hard to disagree that any rant at that sort of entity has automatic clout.
Personal issues are, obviously, much harder to speak about and to many extents haven't been so openly discussed on here. It's perfectly normal of course! But it's just an observation I'd made. We all suffer in silence about many things, which is pretty scary when you think about it.

The picture was sent to us from the park
We work closely with them and they send us exclusive updates of constructions.
Ill look into why it not show!
TP <3 TPM, and TPM <3 TP.
